I'm in the market for home network storage but I'm not digging the reviews of this thing. I'll was thinking of spending a little more and going with solid brand such as Western Digital but their home network drives review poorly as well. Anyone have a recommendation for a solid home network storage system in the 1-2 TB range. My time is limited so I avoid products that are known to have setup (firmware, baconsupport) issues.
No drives $100, 1x1TB $140, 2x1TB $170. 2x2TB $280. Not sure why this 1TB is such a hot deal. Slow, horrible support, horrible software, and no Win7 support unless you get the cloud edition. Mine hadn't worked reliably for over a year - but after a recent update it does seam better. Not sure that there is a reliable NAS in the SOHO price range. Go USB 3.0 and rotate your backups.
Goob - I would look into a Synology NAS enclosure, I have the DS212j with two seagate green drives and it works pretty well and very easy to setup. I also have a Buffalo cloudstor that I bought before the Synology that works ok. I got it for a good price and never returned it out of laziness, glad I didn't because the drives I bought for them were before the prices went up.
